On February 20, Ed and John joined more than 165 activists in Sacramento for the 14th annual Ocean Day California. Since its inauguration in 2005, Ocean Day has drawn advocates to the State Capitol to inform legislators about the latest issues facing California’s coastal ecosystem and to underscore how vital these issues are to California’s identity and economy. Every year, more and more people participate. After a record-setting level of participation in 2017, this year’s attendance increased by 70 percent. Co-organized by Surfrider Foundation, AZUL, and Environment California, Ocean Day draws activists – experienced and new – from all over the state.
